1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: the cold resistance of sheep hoof beetle is very low, so it can't be cultured outdoors in winter. The suitable temperature for growth is between 15-20 degrees. In this environment, its ability to germinate new branches is the strongest. If the temperature is below 10 degrees in winter, it will stop growing

2. Watering: the sheep hoof beetle is inseparable from water during its growth, so it needs to keep the soil moist. During the breeding period, it needs to supplement water almost once every half a month. In the peak growth season, it needs to increase the amount of water and keep it once a week. However, in the rainy season, it needs to be controlled. Do a good job of drainage, and don't drop water on the leaf center, otherwise it will fester

3. Light: the sheep's hoof beetle is a light loving plant. It needs to provide sufficient light during its growth. Except in summer, it can be taken to the balcony for full-time sunlight in other seasons. In summer, it needs to avoid direct sunlight. After continuous exposure, it will wither. Warm light can make it bloom more brightly

4. Fertilization: before planting, we need to apply some base fertilizer, which can make the seedlings grow rapidly. We need to continue fertilization in the peak growth season. Fertilization is needed once a week. If the fertilizer is not enough, it is likely to grow poorly, and the barren soil will not grow strong plants

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: cutting and sowing are two important propagation methods. Cutting is best carried out in spring and autumn. At this time, the temperature is appropriate, and it is most suitable for germination between 20-25 degrees. Cut 11 cm branches for cutting. The seeds need to be soaked in 60 degrees of hot water in advance before sowing. After the seeds expand, they can be planted

2. Pruning: the sheep hoof beetle needs to be pruned in autumn to cut off some useless branches and leaves. At the same time, the autumn pruning is mainly to cut out the perfect plant type, so as to facilitate the growth and germination of the next year

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: angular spot disease will occur. This disease will occur from July to September. It mainly appears some brown spots on branches and leaves, leading to final wilt. Carbendazim solution can be sprayed for control

2. Insect pest: aphids will occur. This kind of insect pest will cause the branches and leaves of the plant to be bitten. Omethoate solution can be used to control it

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: toxic, so you should pay attention not to eat by mistake when breeding

2. Whether it can be raised at home: Yes, but it is more recommended to breed outdoors, because it is toxic, and indoor farming is easy to be poisoned by accidental eating< a>
